Confirmation Interviews 2009

For those of you who are receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation on Sunday, March 8, 2009, you need to complete an interview with one of the priests of OUR parish - Fr. Jim, Fr. Gene, Fr. Molina, or Fr. Pancho. Your interview is not a test. It is an additional opportunity for you to dialogue on your faith growth and readiness for Confirmation. All interviews are conducted in a safe and appropriate environment.

These interviews MUST be completed by Sunday, March 1st. It is YOUR responsibility to call and make an appointment with one of our priests. Remember, there are 66 teens being Confirmed in the Faith and only 4 priests. PLEASE schedule early. Be considerate of others and DO NOT wait until the week prior.

The St. Thomas Office phone # is 770-432-8579.
Fr. Jim's extension is 108.
Fr. Gene's extension is 106
Fr. Molina's extension is 121.
Fr. Pancho's extension is 107.

Some sample interview questions:

• How do you (personally) pray, and how often?
• Why do you want to be confirmed?
• What does the Sacrament of Confirmation mean to you?
• What difference do you think it will make in your life?
• Do you think Confirmation is the beginning, middle, or end of your Religious Education?
• What else can we do to help you prepare for this Sacrament?

• What did you like least about Confirmation preparation? Why?
• Looking back over the preparation process, how would you say you have grown in faith? (Be as specific as possible.)
